Question 3

Question 4 #### The first type of dam I chose was recreation, as I was curious about its locations for usage, as I would have assumed most types of dams would not be used for something as trivial as recreation. I next chose water supply, as to me, that seems like the most common use for a dam, although that was not true by the above table, so I was curious as to where these would be congregated. The last two I chose were flood control and irrigation as I wanted to see how these two compared with one another.
